Ultimately, that did not happen. Instead, Pugh, along with offensive linemen Marshall Newhouse (knee) and Brett Jones (calf), was listed as out for Sunday’s game.

Following practice, and after the team’s had released their official injury reports, head coach Ben McAdoo admitted that Pugh had suffered a “setback” in practice this week — a setback he referred to as relatively minor.

Ben McAdoo said starting LG Justin Pugh (knee) had minor setback. Have to reevaluate next week.

How long this “setback” will keep Pugh out remains to be seen, but early indications are that it will only be one more week.

Pugh was listed as a limited participant from Wednesday through Friday, but it’s possible he left Friday’s practice as a result of the aforementioned setback.

With Jones and Newhouse also out, the next man up would be Adam Gettis. But similarly to the others, Gettis has been hampered by injury — a calf injury — and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Browns.

If Gettis is ultimately listed as an inactive come Sunday, the starting job will fall to guard/center Shane McDermott, who was signed to the practice squad last week and then promoted to the 53-man roster on Saturday.
